There are millions of nail lacquer hues out in the universe, but we narrowed it down to 10 cheerful must-haves to get your nails looking vibrant.

My sister, the ultimate Twilight fan, sent me a link to this silly little picture. I’m sorry, but I think Robert Pattinson is really hot, and I think this guy is really NOT. I guess if the Twilight characters were emo, they’d look a little like this.
Get ‘New Moon’ gear at Hot Topic (you too can impersonate Edward and Bella)

I know that guys wearing girls clothes is a huge trend right now, and has been a huge trend for a long time. I know tons of guys that wear girls jeans (I have a friend who stole a pair of my jeans…a guy friend), and sure, there are still guys out there that think they look better in eyeliner than I do, but really Adam Lambert? Performance calls for different attire than a regular day, and I know he wants to look like a real “rock star,” but I’m sorry, I can’t get over those mud-colored platform boots. And metal angel wings (or whatever the hell those are)? He’s been said to be the male-version of Lady Gaga, but this look really isn’t new. Just go to a suburban mall and wait outside of Hot Topic, or a nightclub on Industrial Night. Sorry if you love this look, as I’m sure many girls, and guys, will soon have his posters plastered all over their walls. I’ll admit the one on the left isn’t that bad, but I am not too crazy about a guy that spends more time getting ready, and getting into his flared (ew) jeans, than I do.

Oh, Hot Topic.
The only good part about this black patent stiletto (with built-in bottle opener) is that you have to be really skilled to be able to use it without flashing everyone at the party. If you can pull that off, you deserve to wear whatever you want. Ug, circular logic, perhaps, but I felt the need to justify the existence of these shoes. I just feel so bad for whoever will spend $40 on these.

I am speechless. Raf Simons and Doc Marten took my favorite warm weather kick, the gladiator sandal, and turned it into a complete fashion fail. First and foremost, the idea of men wearing gladiator sandals is less than appealing, let alone men in gladiator sandals with a chunky rubber sole, paten-leather straps and tie-up shoelaces. This collaboration is a gothic mess and seems like it should appear on the shelves of Hot Topic, cheaply constructed by some no name designer, rather than a work partially designed by Raf Simons. Honestly, if I see any guy wearing these shoes come springtime, I will undoubtedly push him into oncoming traffic.
Thanks Pipeline!

Get rid of that American Apparel white tee, and head to Hot Topic for some fishnets…
No more white tees or tanks under pieces that might be too revealing, Fall 09 will be the return of the fishnets. And I don’t mean the kind hookers wear on their legs, I mean the long sleeve shirt kind.
Take a look at the Fall 09 show of Nathan Jenden for a take on this trend.

Signs that Richie Rich might be officially done.
1. He’s releasing an album (also see; Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Montag)
2. He’s releasing an accessories line (also see; Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Montag)
It’s so sad to see a fairly talentless designer continue to be fairly talentless. I was expecting more from Richie after the Heatherette split, but it seems the aging twink is just gonna try to grasp onto whatever few opportunities are left for him.
He’s launching his first compilation album called Only Play This at Gay Raves Celebutante, which will include music by Richie, Madonna, the Scissor Sisters, Lil Mama and other butt play friendly artists. And he will be designing a line for utterly uncool mall store, Hot Topic. So basically, he’s completely out of cash and might be starved for a few remaining deals before the shine of fame diminishes from his baby blues.
Additionally, Richie is releasing a shoe line (also see; diluting his brand image) called Rox & Riley which was rumored to be a collabo with Hilfiger’s less rich sibling.
Oh, Richie, so many projects, so few people who actually care.

Scenes from happier days with Perez Hilton, you know when his collection didn’t crash and burn. I’m sure there is a Hot Topic exec kicking himself in the ass right now for picking up that phone call.
